Over Half of UK Badger Population Killed

Official figures from Natural England reveal another 17,150 badgers were killed in 2024 culls.

The Badger Blame Game has continued. When the government pledged to end the ‘ineffective badger culls’—their words, not ours—we hoped we wouldn’t have to write this post again. An additional 17,150 badgers have been killed for a policy that no one believes works, bringing the total number culled since 2013 to 247,880 (51% of the last population estimate).
